Bright, daring, attractive – these are the associations a girl with red hair evokes. This shade speaks of a bold personality and creative nature; it attracts attention and evokes bold fantasies.
The color red will turn an ordinary girl into a bright and extraordinary one. The main thing is to choose the right shade. Having decided on such an experiment, know that now you will not be able to avoid the admiring glances of men.
Red hair dye
The first question that faces a girl who wants to change her hair color is which red hair dye will suit her. It must meet the basic requirements: durability, gentle impact, predictable results.
Choose a shade based on the natural tone or the one in which your hair is dyed. Some girls, seeing red on the packaging, immediately grab the paint and think they will get the same result. But they don’t take into account that the model’s hair color is several shades lighter than her own.
If you don't understand color, you won't be able to get the desired shade. Especially if you want to do this using household paints. The color on the packaging serves to attract attention, not to represent the end result.
It is better to entrust your hair to a professional hairdresser who will choose the right tone and oxide suitable for your hair color and type. He will tell you about the rules of care and recommend products to maintain color.
Red hair shades
Red can be warm, cold, light and dark, with yellow and purple tints. If you choose the right shade, you will transform for the better. Pure red color is acceptable for fair-skinned girls with yellowish undertones.
But there are other red shades of hair:
deep red (3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5). Looks perfect combined with a classic look. Business dresses and suits, a strict hairstyle will not look so dry and boring with an unusual hair color;
red-copper (5.45, 6.45, 7.45). Suitable for hazel and light brown eyes. Recommended for girls and women with very fair and fair skin;
red-violet (4.56, 5.56, 6.56, 9.56). Suitable for girls with natural dark hair and tanned skin. Pairs well with dark brown and black eyes;
red-brown (4.57, 5.57, 6.57, 7.57). A more restrained and calm red color. Suitable for those who want a bright appearance, but look natural. This shade hides wrinkles, so it is recommended for older women.
Using the given numbers, you can easily and accurately choose the shade that suits your type of appearance.
Red henna for hair
Red hair lovers are incredibly lucky because they can get the desired shade without harming their hair. Coloring agents strengthen, nourish hair and create a protective layer that does not allow ultraviolet radiation and harmful impurities in the air to pass through.
Red henna recipes for hair:
The most affordable way to get a red color is to brew henna on hibiscus. Pour boiling water over 2 tablespoons of tea, let stand for 3-5 minutes, strain and mix with henna.
Also, a red tint will be obtained if henna is brewed with warm beet juice. It is enough to add 2-3 tablespoons for every 50 grams of powder.
Boiled red wine does not contain alcohol, but in combination with henna it has coloring properties. You can use cranberry or cherry juice instead.
To get a bright red hue, add a few pinches of ground cloves to the henna paste and wait 5 minutes for the seasoning to reveal its properties.
If you brew henna with kefir, the shade will turn out to be red-copper and very rich.
A red-brown tint can be obtained by adding a tablespoon of grated natural cocoa to one of the above recipes.
Henna dries your hair. Therefore, it is ideal for oily scalp types. To dye dry hair, add 2-3 tablespoons to the mixture. To fix the color, use apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
How to dye your hair red
Getting bright color is not easy. To do this, you need to diagnose your hair and, based on the results, choose a coloring method. If your native color (for example, level 7-8) is lighter than the desired tone (5-6), then you can do without pre-lightening. When the situation looks the other way around, it is recommended to raise the tone before painting.
How to dye your hair red:
To make the color last longer, wash your hair with deep cleaning shampoo 2-3 days before the procedure.
Purchase paint of the desired shade. For long hair, buy 2 packages, for shoulder-length curls - one. The percentage of oxidizer for hair without gray hair should be 3%, with gray hair - 6%.
Prepare a bowl, brush, wide-tooth comb, clips and old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
Dilute the mixture according to the instructions and divide your hair into 4 parts: from crown to neck and from ear to ear.
Take ¼ of the part and divide it into strands 1 cm wide. Process each, retreating 3-4 cm from the roots.
When the entire length is dyed, apply the mixture to the roots in the same way. If you immediately start dyeing from the roots, they will take on a more intense shade and the color will turn out uneven.
Leave to act for the time specified in the instructions.
Then wet your hair, foam the dye, distributing it along the length and roots, and leave for 5 minutes.
Rinse your hair under running water until it runs clear and pat dry with a towel.
Apply balm to set the color. Such products are sold in professional cosmetics stores and complete chemical processes on the hair.
Rinse off the conditioner and dry your hair.
Do not overexpose the paint in the hope of getting an intense color; exposure time is limited to 30-40 minutes. Do not comb your hair after applying the dye, it is already subject to a chemical process and any manipulation will be harmful.
How to care for red
Red is hard to get. But it’s even more difficult to preserve it for several weeks. To have shiny and bright hair for a whole month until the next color update, listen to the advice of experts.
How to care for red:
choose sulfate-free shampoos. They do not wash hair aggressively, do not dry it out and retain color;
give up homemade masks and base oils in hair care. Many girls notice that their color fades;
between dyeing, use a tinted shampoo that will give your hair brightness and color;
purchase a line of care products for colored hair. Such products retain color and restore curls after chemical exposure;
After each wash, rinse your hair with vinegar diluted in water in a ratio of 2 tablespoons per 1 liter.
protect your hair from the sun. To do this, use products with UV filters, wear Panama hats and scarves;
colored hair is more susceptible to external influences, so use leave-in products that create a protective layer.
If your color fades prematurely, don't dye your hair right away. Frequent chemical exposure will make them dry and brittle, and they will not be able to hold pigment. Wait at least 4 weeks and then paint only the roots. To update the length, it is enough to apply the paint for just 5-10 minutes.
How to wash off red hair color
If you are unhappy with the result, do not despair and try to neutralize it. In addition to the acid washes offered in salons, there are many home remedies available.
How to wash off red:
Every other day, apply oil masks to the roots and lengths. As mentioned above, they quickly wash out the color;

Red hair color looks defiant and bold, so before you dye your hair with it, think about whether you can withstand the pressure, whether it suits your personality or whether you should pay attention to calm shades. But perhaps your life will change with a new shade of hair.
7 April 2014, 17:50Mahogany hair color is bold and at the same time alluring, but not everyone knows how to choose the right shade and who it might suit, but we will help you figure out this issue.
The varied palette offered by Mother Nature has never been enough for a person greedy for the exotic. In color experiments, the ancient Greeks endowed Zeus with blue hair, and the Mayans preferred mahogany hair color; mermaids in Russian fairy tales enchanted young men with their green mop.
Already in ancient times, natural shades were not in honor; modern girls also prefer to change the color of their curls.
Everything will depend on freedom of choice or personal preferences: some people like bright, fantastic shades, while others like natural shades. By changing your image, you will bring variety to your life.
How to avoid making a mistake when choosing: who suits and who doesn’t
Ladies of all light skin tones, green and blue eyes are lucky to have a varied palette to choose from, including a rich shade of red. But for dark-skinned, brown-eyed brunettes, it is better to pay attention to a palette of colors with purple and brown notes.
For a girl with a bright appearance and an active lifestyle, changing her hair color to mahogany will help express her inner self.
Choosing a color when painting is a complex process that will take time.
If you are in doubt about which type of shade to choose, try on wigs of different palettes, this will make it a little easier to see yourself in a certain image.
Varied palette
Any hair color palette contains from three to five shades of red. For those who want something completely new, it is worth trying to mix tones with each other, but it is better to do this in a salon to avoid incidents with unexpected results.
Red tree
As a rule, it is made in two shades, which can be mixed if desired:
- Brown.
- Red.
The chestnut tone saturates with an incomparable chocolate tint. It is the harmonious concentration of two shades that determines the final color. Women over 50 should take a closer look at it, as this color will distract attention from wrinkles and cover up gray hair.
Despite all the saturation, it does not catch the eye, and when combined with discreet makeup and calm tones of clothing, this color will be very appropriate.
Dark red
Dark red is the dark and deep notes of the red palette, close to brown. It perfectly emphasizes dark and olive skin, giving it freshness. This color combines dark cherry and purple tones, which give the tone a ruby shine.
Copper red
Recommended for girls with light brown eyes and pale skin. A bright representative of red, thanks to copper notes, is a little daring, but at the same time, it will add individuality to the image.
With a red tint
It is ideal for girls with an autumn color type (blue, green or dark gray eyes and light skin tones). Please note that this color will highlight all the imperfections on the skin (acne, redness, wrinkles).
Fire red
Shades of mahogany hair dye will require lightening a couple of tones. Not often chosen by ladies, as this color is dangerous. For 20-year-old girls, it is too dark, and for 50-year-old girls, it is no longer appropriate for their age.
Who is it suitable for? Women who love the attention of men and have an individual addiction to such shades of red.
Options for dyeing hair red
Ombre
Ombre coloring, made in the form of tongues of flame, is increasingly in demand among girls under 30 years old. A dark or black hair color will be an effective base for this coloring, as red will look brighter. 
If you decide to dye it, then it is worth considering that the upper boundaries (of dark hair) should not cross the line of the cheekbones. It is for this reason that most often girls paint only the ends red.
Highlighting
Highlighting makes it possible to combine several colors, usually two.
It is better to choose a dark tone as the base, and any shade of red of your choice is suitable for the strands. 
The bravest ones try dyeing red strands on light hair, but here it will be more difficult to combine tones and it is better to seek help from a professional.
Painting the tips
Dyeing the ends is the most acceptable solution for those who are not ready to completely change the color of their hair, but want to try something new for themselves. 
If you want to stand out from the crowd, choose two shades of red and make smooth transitions of tones from light to dark.
Coloring effect
A risky experiment, if you dye your curls poorly, there may be glimpses, and this is not beautiful. Dark dye is washed off from light hair twice as fast as from chestnut hair.
Why not paint now? Make up, but don’t choose a tone that is too dark and do the coloring twice a month for the first six months, this way you will maintain the brightness.
Blonde hair
Pay attention to the lighter tones of the red palette (copper or red). A sudden change in color is usually traumatic, so first use tinted balms to see the final result.
Dark hair
Mahogany hair color on a brunette is an excellent option, as it is almost impossible to make a mistake. This muted shade will add richness and depth to your look.
The base is usually chosen with chocolate and red notes (you can mix two or three shades if desired). For light skin tones, this paint will be too dark.
Brown hair
Mahogany for light brown hair is suitable for women from 28 to 65 years old, but young women and teenagers should avoid such experiments. Combining red and brown tones, the result is a personality that gives light brown locks shine and life. 
Colorists offer a wide palette of shades, but keep in mind the rule: choose the initial color two shades darker than the base color, otherwise there is a risk that the paint will not take, but will only be a shade.
Mahogany on black hair is a non-standard approach that requires skill to get results. Black color itself is very individual and does not want to be combined with other shades.
Before dyeing, you need to do a wash in the salon so that the curls lighten at least two tones. If you refuse these procedures, you will get a slight red tint in the sun.
Tips for dyeing your hair at home will help you change your color without any problems, and the results will be amazing.
- The first stage is the selection of dye. It will directly depend on the condition of the scalp and the structure of the curls. If your skin shows signs of skin disease or injury, you should avoid dyeing until you have healed your skin.
- It will be easier to examine the original color in detail in the sun, since under room lighting it may be darker.
- Most often (as intended by nature), the curls are darker at the roots, and lighter at the ends. Take this point into account when painting, it will help to achieve a uniform transition.
- Before you start painting, do an allergy test. Apply a little coloring element to the area of skin behind the ear and wait about half an hour (sometimes they advise to wait a day, but the allergy appears after a couple of weeks), there is no irritation, feel free to start coloring.
- When you decide what day you will wear your makeup, don’t wash your hair for a day to protect your curls from ammonia, which is contained in any paint. Well, if your hair is very dirty, wash it as usual, but refuse balm and masks.
- Along the edges of hair growth (facial skin, ears, temples) lubricate with any fatty cream, this way you will protect your skin from paint.
- Do not use metal objects (combs, bowls or hairpins) as they oxidize. Plastic or ceramic dishes are suitable.
- Mix the paint half an hour before application, not later.
- Using a comb, divide your hair into four zones. This will help color the curls evenly. Start spreading the paint from the front and then work to the back of the head.
- Treat the temples and forehead last, as these areas stain the fastest.
- Red shades have their own paint application system. Step back 2-3 centimeters from the roots, apply paint along the entire length, and only then paint the roots (last).
- You need to keep the dye on your hair for no less than 50 minutes. Choose a middle ground depending on your hair structure. Sometimes there is advice to put a plastic bag on your head and create a greenhouse effect.
But these are relics of the past, all hair stylists unanimously say that this cannot be done, the color will not become more intense, but you will burn your hair.
Your curls are already stressed during dyeing, and depriving them of oxygen, the chemical reaction becomes intense and, as a result, you will get curls damaged from the inside. - Curls of red shades will turn yellow (most likely) when dyed golden. If you don’t get the shade you wanted, use mixton (removes yellowness and adds saturation to the color).
The average price is from 300 to 600 rubles. Volume from 60 to 150 milliliters. For medium length, one bottle is enough, and if the curls are below the shoulders, you will have to purchase two.
Golden mixton will help neutralize purple tones:
- Green
red. - Lilac
yellow. - Grey
enhances ashy and white tones.
Mixton is distributed through the hair like shampoo, but try to distribute it evenly, leave it for no more than 20 minutes, with each hair wash, the dye will be washed off. The red tones are so intense that they wash off so quickly.
If you want to have a rich shade all the time, you will have to apply makeup every two weeks. Paints in the form of a mask are easier to distribute over your hair, they are convenient to use, and the saturation will last for more than a month.
In general, I would like to note that mahogany is an original hair color that can add new notes to your image. But, it must be used wisely, taking into account all the features of appearance and clothing style.

Red hair is the highlight of the look. We suggest you find out who the mahogany color suits in the first video. And in the second you can get acquainted with the technology of coloring at home.
Transforming into a new charismatic personality is easier than ever today. Often all this requires is to change your hair color, making it bright and bold. It has been noticed that by changing her image, a girl begins to feel differently, becomes self-confident and attracts special attention from “gray” passers-by. For such a transformation, the best way is to dye your hair red. However, in order to properly highlight your personality, it is important to take into account some subtleties.
Shades of red
Beauty salons and stores offer a huge selection of paints. Among them there is an abundance of different shades of red. The range of such colors is very wide. It starts with a burgundy tone and ends with a golden-orange tint. Red also includes plum, pomegranate, copper, pinkish, raspberry, carrot, cherry and other bright colors. But you need to choose this or that shade with caution, because you should not only like the paint, but it must be in harmony with your skin and eyes.
How to choose your color?
To begin with, it is important to determine exactly what color type your skin belongs to and, based on this, choose shades of red hair color. It is known that beauties with warm skin tones suit gold, so this trick is used when choosing a paint. The skin will be favorably emphasized in a color with a golden tint. Dark skin looks perfect with a mahogany shade. If a girl naturally has fair skin and hair, she will have to give up copper-red colors. It is better for her to take a closer look at delicate shades, for example those that have a pinkish tint.
In addition, your hair needs to be dyed taking into account your eye color. Dark-eyed girls can afford any shade. Copper-red tones, bright red and mahogany can highlight the beauty of green and light brown eyes. Gray and blue eyes are harmoniously emphasized with light red paint.
Who has to watch out for red?
Unfortunately, red hair color does not highlight the beauty of all girls. The main exception is those with skin prone to redness. But these include not only those whose cheeks constantly become hot. These could be girls who are predisposed to facial rashes, pimples or inflammation. Red shades make these areas even redder and more noticeable. Don't forget about freckles. Red hair makes them more noticeable. In addition, if the color is incorrectly chosen for the eyes, it will visually add several years to your appearance. Also, if a woman is over 40, she needs to beware of getting flashy orange and bright red hair colors, since such tones look unnatural and visually make her look five years older.
Subtleties of coloring
Girls who have already tried to turn their hair into bright curls have noticed how difficult it is to achieve the desired result. They usually end up with a completely different color than what was indicated on the box, and the results don't last long. It is worth considering that in order to get red hair color, it is important to take into account the natural shade or original one. The lighter the native curls, the easier it is to achieve the intended effect from them. If your hair differs from the color on the box by only a couple of tones, you can dye it without first bleaching it. If the original shade is slightly darker than the desired color, the situation is corrected by dyeing the hair with light dye (for example, it is brought to light brown). But dark curls will have to be lightened, otherwise even a bright red color cannot be achieved with any dye. If a girl has dark hair, she needs to wash it. Only after this procedure can you count on red hair color.
Maintain color
It is worth considering that it is the red tones that quickly fade, become dull and faded. To maintain the results longer, it is important to constantly maintain the color. To do this, you need to wash your hair with shampoo for colored hair. The first time the product is applied only at the roots and the strands are only lightly washed. You can also purchase a toner that matches your shade and use it once a week. Of course, if the hair shade is suitable, it can be maintained with henna, which is a natural and permanent dye; the hair does not lose its shine for about a month (henna takes even longer to remove). But it is important to take into account that after its use, other chemical paint does not take well. There is also some bad news for those who had to lighten their hair in order for red hair dye to take on. On bleached hair, the bright color quickly washes out, so these girls will have to take extra care to maintain the color. Stylists share some subtleties with their clients. You can add very little dye to your shampoo, but the important condition is that this product does not contain ammonia. In addition, to preserve the tone and health of your curls, it is better to additionally purchase special masks and conditioners.
Paint selection
Dreaming of dyeing their curls a rich color, many people notice that not every red hair dye gives the desired result. But why? Some people buy this product only because the box shows exactly the color they need. But, as you know, you can draw anything. Others are driven by advertising. But just because that product appears on a poster doesn't automatically make it good. Therefore, the choice of remedy should be based only on the experience of many women. After visiting a good salon, you can get advice on how to get red hair color and which dye to choose. More often, recommendations will fall on professional products used by stylists. But the main thing to remember is that the final result depends on the original hair color and its structure.
Undoubtedly, if you wanted to change your hair color and make it red, it will be difficult to dissuade you from this step. But you should still know that for the desired result you will have to lighten your hair properly. Also, each time you need to lighten the roots, and then tint them red. In addition to the fact that it is labor-intensive and financially expensive, such procedures are harmful to the health of the hair. If you initially have weak and sparse curls, it is better to abandon this idea. You can purchase paint in the desired bright color and paint them without discoloration. The result is dark red hair color or with a beautiful healthy tint. This shade on a dark color always looks noble.
Henna dyeing
Often, to acquire a fiery color, women resort to natural dyes. Henna gives a rather orange tint; you cannot get red from it. But in order for the dye to give a more saturated tone, it can be diluted with beetroot juice, hibiscus infusion, chamomile decoction, or add a spoonful of turmeric. A few weeks later the procedure is repeated.
Red is certainly one of the colors that attracts increased attention, so it is advisable to experiment with hairstyles wisely. If you are planning to transform yourself with red for the first time, then it is better to entrust your hair to a professional, otherwise home dyeing may be unsuccessful. Do not forget that shades of red hair color are quickly washed off and lose their brightness, so to care for and maintain color saturation, use good shampoos and conditioners for colored hair.
Red hair
There is a large selection of red hair dyes: copper, red, plum, burgundy, ruby, red-chestnut, mahogany, tangerine, raspberry. From the wide variety, you must clearly understand who suits this or that shade of red and what color you want to see on your head.
Shades of red are good for autumn and winter girls. These are girls with fair skin, often with freckles, blue, green, brown, olive eyes. For girls with warm skin tones, red with a golden tint will suit you. If you have a cool tone, then feel free to dye your hair bright red, raspberry or burgundy.
Red hair color goes well with a tan. Therefore, if you are not sure whether a fiery shade will suit you, then try painting with balm in the summer - then the risk of failure is almost minimal.
Red hair color does not go well with pinkish skin color - in this case, you risk turning into a pig.
To ensure that your red coloring is successful, make sure that the color of your eyebrows matches your new look. Your hair will look unnatural with too light or, conversely, black eyebrows.
There are many movie and pop stars who like to experiment with hair color. The biggest fan of red is singer Rihanna. If filming a movie causes a change in image and hair color, then actresses also often undergo a partial transformation. Megan Fox, Scarlett Johansson, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, and this is not a complete list of celebrities who have worn the red color scheme.
Girls with red hair can try various interesting haircuts and styles. Short and asymmetrical haircuts, large curls, as well as braids of all kinds of weaving look stylish.

The use of bright paint has its own characteristics, as does caring for the strands after dyeing. Before you decide to change your appearance, you should familiarize yourself with some nuances.
Rich red shades suit women with brown eyes and dark skin. Also, bright hair with brown-green irises will look interesting.
A beautiful golden-brown tone will be obtained on light brown and blond hair. For those with dark skin, the mahogany tone is more suitable. But blondes should not dye their hair copper. The color of the curls will unfavorably shade the skin of the face. For dark strands and chestnut hair, you should choose dyes with a reddish tint.
All of the above recommendations relate to matching red tones with hair and skin color. But whose character suits bright paint more is usually not discussed. And in vain, because a beautiful hairstyle needs to be skillfully presented.
Only determined people with charm and originality can do this boldly and willfully. For such individuals, being the center of attention and catching the gaze of others is a natural necessity.

During the dyeing process, they combine, sometimes forming green on the strands. It will be difficult to correct the situation.
Usually, dark curls are pre-lightened before being dyed red. The result is a rich, vibrant color.
It's easiest for fair-haired women. Any tone will lie evenly, and the shade will be as close as possible to the desired one.
How to choose a shade of red?
The shade of red is selected depending on the skin color type.
So, for those with cool tones, the following will be more suitable:
- ruby;
- scarlet;
- rich pink;
- cherry, etc.;
For women with warm skin tones, the following tones are suitable:
- Red tree;
- fiery red;
- honey;
- reddish-chestnut, etc.;
The shade of the hair is not matched to the eye color, only the harmonious combination is taken into account. The best combination is to combine red with green and blue iris.
It is worth refusing to choose red paint in case of a reddish tint to the skin of the face or situational manifestations. Such a ratio of shades on the hair and face will not give a lady charm and extravagance.
How to dye your hair red at home?
The procedure can be done independently at home. But you should first prepare the strands. Within 7-10 days before staining, you need to perform deep measures. For these purposes, you can use masks, special professional products, and home recipes. The pigment will last longer if the hair is sufficiently moisturized.
Required tools and tools:
- a bowl for diluting the dye (ceramic, plastic or glass);

- Wear a plastic scarf and wait as long as indicated in the instructions. To obtain a rich tone, you need to choose the maximum time.
- After dyeing, the hair is washed well until the flowing water becomes clear.
- To restore the structure and close the scales, apply the balm for 2-5 minutes. Then rinse your hair and dry it naturally. If the use of a hair dryer and other electrical devices is planned, the strands are treated with a protective agent.
When tinting the roots, the paint is applied to the root zone, and 10 minutes before the end of the pigment's action time, you need to distribute it along the entire length of the strands.
Precautionary measures
Before use, you should make sure that the active components of the coloring composition will not cause an allergic reaction. A quick test on the back of your hand will eliminate all doubts when using the product for the first time.
If during application the dye gets on the skin or eyes, it should be washed off immediately under running water. Also, pigment should not get on clothing. It will be almost impossible to remove the stain, so while dyeing you need to cover your shoulders with a cape.
The diluted mixture is used immediately after combining with the oxidizing agent. It is not recommended to apply settled dye to hair. After a few hours, it loses its original properties and will not give the desired effect. In addition, the oxidized mixture can cause irritation on the skin.

Care
The red pigment is quickly washed off from the hair, so to maintain the effect you need to take into account some rules for caring for colored strands:
- Use only special shampoos for washing, which ensure color fastness.
- After applying the pigment, it is not recommended to wash your hair for 2 days.
- Limit frequent use of skin care products, they contribute to the rapid leaching of pigment from the surface of the hair.
- Styling, you need to use electric devices less often to straighten or curl strands.
- Create protection from ultraviolet radiation and other external factors A conditioner will help.
- When combing wet hair you need to use a comb with rare teeth so as not to damage the structure.
